    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's a good question 'Nev' but my own view is that it does little to affect that matter. May's deal is a poor deal which few in the HoC really want to put their name to. No deal is equally undesirable so the MPs want some kind of fudge and after two years, the only fudge in town is May's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If I said you're as thick as two short planks, that would be understatement; at least three would be more approximate! Did you ever consider secondary school or did you reckon you knew it all when you were eleven? It's not too late, you know - you could benefit considerably from the OU as...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Similarly, the apprentice in a machine shop I worked at was often referred to in that manner - 'Oi bungalow, get the kettle on; it's time for us grafters to 'ave a brew!' It took me a little while to grasp that 'bungalow' meant 'having nothing up top'! Tom

    I can believe that and I know that French wines in the UK and probably elsewhere around the world have become more affordable in recent years, as they had to in order to compete with some fine wines from the new world in particular. A French close friend rents space in an...

    OG, I'm sure you have no need but others might wish to check out the very useful word, 'dissembling'. I found this: dissemble | dɪˈsɛmb(ə)l | verb [no object] conceal or disguise one's true feelings or beliefs: an honest, sincere person with no need to dissemble. • [with object] disguise or...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I was given one just like the one in the pic as a birthday present recently and I find it quite useful. It's quicker than opening up my laptop and doing an internet search. From what you have revealed though, OG, I'm worried now that it might have the capacity to change me into an imbecilic...

    Indians eat more than just the kind of food you might see on the menu at your local curry house. I have eaten food prepared by Indian families countless times in Southall and their cuisine is just fabulous. Tom

    I second that! Maybe he'll stay on as I expect he's some kind of celebrity in that part of the world as they have probably never encountered an internet troll before.:rolleyes: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree with most of that post 'tillson' but lowering taxes on business will not have the effect you imagine on job prospects, etc. It never has done previously and indeed, many previous inducements and encouragements to business, particularly start-ups, lead to further public money being...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The opposition parties in the Commons seem particularly upset that Geoffrey Cox has refused to divulge the full advice on the ramifications of 'Brexit', causing then to jointly protest in writing to the Speaker that Cox is in contempt of parliament. Fine, that's a procedural matter and I hope...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You are only here to disrupt and generally make a nuisance of yourself. It became clear quite some time ago that you have nothing by way of evidence or fact to illustrate how when or where the UK population might somehow benefit from secession. In spite of being given ample opportunity to...
